Actually, that's not what it says. It says the original copyright holder cannot prevent the resale of second-hand CDs and force you to buy a new copy at retail from them directly. However, I believe your rights to make and enjoy "fair use" copies of music (to your hard disk, your favorite old 8-track media, etc) exist by virtue of your ownership of the physical media and end when you no longer have title to the media (an issue that isn't covered in the article you quoted, because it's not part of the first-sale doctrine).
